ZERO MODE NATURAL FREQUENCY AND NONLINEAR VIBRATION OF COUPLED LATERAL AND TORSION OF A LARGE TURBINE GENERATOR

Zero mode natural frequency (ZMNF) is found during experiments. The ZMNF andvibrations resulted by it are studied. First, calculating method of the ZMNF excited byelectromagnetic in vibrational system of coupled mechanics and electrics are given from the view ofmagnetic energy. Laws that the ZMNF varies with active power and exciting current are obtained andare verified by experiments. Then, coupled lateral and torsional vibration of rotor shaft system isstudied by considering rest eccentricity, rotating eccentricity and swing eccentricity. UsingLargrange-Maxwell equation when three phases are asymmetric derives differential equation of thecoupled vibration. With energy method of nonlinear vibration, amplitude-frequency characteristics ofresonance are studied when rotating speed of rotor equals to ZMNF. The results show that ZMNF willoccur in turbine generators by the action of electromagnetic. Because ZMNF varies withelectromagnetic parameters, resonance can occur when exciting frequency of the rotor speed is fixedwhereas exciting current change. And also find that a generator is in the state of large amplitudein rated exciting current.

Crashworthiness simulation and improvement design of auto-body based on finite element mehtod

One developing commercial vehicle was simulated on crashworthiness using the nonlinear finite element method. The deformation of the auto-body, the movement of the steering wheel and the dynamic responses of the occupant at the initial velocity of 50 km/h were studied. The results show that the design of the vehicle could be improved on structure and material. The frontal longitudinal beam, the main energy-absorbing part of the auto-body, was optimized on structure. The data of the simulation predict that the hinge of the engine hood would fracture during the crash. The failure of the engine hood hinge would be a danger to both the driver and passengers. Then the problem was solved by changing the engine hood and hinge on structure and material. Simulation results also show that applying new material and new manufacture techniques could improve the crashworthiness of the vehicle greatly. These improvement methods are valuable to the virtual design of vehicles.

Interleaving distribution of multifractal strength of 16-channel EEG signals

Multifractal characteristics of 16-channel hu-man electroencephalogram (EEG) signals under eye-closed rest are analyzed for the first time. The result shows that the EEGs from the different sites on the scalp have different multifractal characteristics and the multifractal strength value a exhibits a kind of interleaving and left-right oppo-site distribution on scalp. This distribution rule is consistent with the localization of function and the lateralization theory in physiology. So Da can become an effective parameter to describe the brain potential character. And such a a stable distribution rule on sites of the scalp means a classic cerebral cortex active state.

The near field acoustic holography technique for cyclostationary sound field and its experimental research

One near field acoustic holography (NAH) technique is proposed for analyzing cyclostationary sound field. The signal of this kind of sound field has very serious modulation phenomenon generally, in spectrum of which obvious sidebands exist. It is difficult for the traditional NAH to possess demodulation function, so virtual power of sidebands exists in its hologram. Replacing the Fourier's transform with the second-order cyclic statistics, the proposed NAH technique uses the cyclic spectrum density (CSD) function as reconstructed physical quantity, instead of the spectrum or power spectrum density of sound pressure signal. The CSD function can demodulate cyclostationary signals, which makes no virtual power of sidebands in its hologram. The results of simulation and experiment show that the proposed NAH can extract more information about cyclostationary sound field than traditional NAH, by which sound field can be known more clearly.

The statistical distributed source boundary point method to calculate the acoustic radiation from the random vibrating body

The statistical distributed source boundary point method (SDSBPM) put forward is applied to calculate the acoustic radiation from the random vibrating body. A detailed description of this method is presented. A test for the SDSBPM is carried out through the random vibrating sphere and the random vibrating cuboid. An experiment on the exterior acoustic radiation of a random vibrating sirnulation axial box of the lathe tool is performed in a semi-anechoic chamber.
